Famous quotes containing the words seized and/or power:
“Man lives two lives, woe, were it otherwise! One is seized by death, the other one, his honor, remains.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“All goes to show that the soul in man is not an organ, but animates and exercises all the organs; is not a function, like the power of memory, of calculation, of comparison, but uses these as hands and feet; is not a faculty, but a light, is not the intellect or the will, but the master of the intellect and the will; is the background of our being, in which they lie,—an immensity not possessed and that cannot be possessed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
